For The N64 People
Fleshwound:
Hi, i live in Australia and have a ntsc n64 coming to play my ntsc games that i have. Australia has pal version standard. so what i need to find out is can i use the pal power pack and lead in the ntsc console without killing it or problems? has anyone done this before?
Cheers!
Arseen:
I'm 99.999% sure that you can.
Altough Australian voltage is 230VAC and US is 110VAC, to my knowledge both output same voltage to same pins.
tiktektak:
Yeah input (from the wall socket) is different but output (to the console) is the same. You just have to double check the voltage and especially the used current (AC or DC) on the power pack and console itself.
NEVER mix an AC power pack output with a DC needing console or bbbbzzzzz....
satoshi_matrix:
Yeah. Remember, you can power an AC system with a DC power supply (like using a Megadrive adapter on an NES) but NOT the other way around (Using an NES power supply on the Megadrive).

Excuse me, what are you babling about?
Both NES and MD, as well as SNES, take in AC, but output DC current.
